Unicorn Snot Is Launching Holographic Glitter Sunscreen, and It's as Extra as It Sounds

As a general rule, I try to avoid putting anything with "snot" in the name on my body. But Unicorn Snot's new glitter sunscreen may be the one exception.

Unicorn Snot, from beauty company FCTRY, is a brand made for the Age of Social Media. Not only is the name just begging to be hashtagged, but the all-glitter-everything product line is ripe for Instagramming. It's not hard to see why Unicorn Snot glitter gel, lipgloss, and lip glitter (which are all definitely prettier than they sound) have made such a splash on the Internet.

Now, the brand is preparing to launch its latest glittery science experiment: Unicorn Snot Sunscreen. Dropping exclusively on Unicorn Snot's website next week, the SPF 30 formula is cruelty free and water resistant, you know, in anticipation of all your unicorn pool float selfies. Naturally, Unicorn Snot Sunscreen, like everything in the unicorn beauty universe, is packed with glitter — it comes in blue, pink, and gold shimmer — but the formula also contains beeswax to keep skin hydrated in the heat. Sparkly and kind to your skin.

Unicorn Snot isn't the first glitter sunscreen to vie for space in your beach bag. The sparkly SPF trend is poised to be everywhere this summer. We previously asked dermatologists to weigh in on the crop of glittery SPFs and theoretically, sparkle sunscreen is totally safe. The one caveat, according to derms, is to make sure you're spreading the sunscreen evenly and applying enough to thoroughly cover your exposed skin.

In other words, when using the Unicorn Snot SPF, you can't be shy about going glittery. Prepare for less of a demure sparkle and more for a full-on disco ball effect.
